NEW 01.09.2025 Vision, Automation & Control AI Boosts Sugar Beet Quality Control: AIT Launches SemanticSugarBeets 'SemanticSugarBeets', an AI-based method for the automated quality assessment of sugar beets that is available to the public, is being presented by researchers at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in cooperation with the AGRANA Research & Innovation Center (ARIC). This method is based on a newly developed image dataset combined with a two-stage analysis process. This allows key parameters such as damage, dirt and mass to be assessed reliably. The system opens up new possibilities for the objective and scalable determination of quality and more precise estimation of sugar yield, in both agriculture and processing. It enables resources to be used more efficiently throughout the entire value chain. 3400 Characters 3 Images
NEW 28.08.2025 Vision, Automation & Control AI and Robotics for the Reuse of Used PV Modules The funded research project 'WattsOK?' has been launched. This innovative project uses artificial intelligence, optical inspection and robotics to automate quality testing of used photovoltaic modules. The system uses the test results to make decisions about reuse or recycling, with the aim of maximising the service life of the modules while increasing the photovoltaic sector's resource efficiency and sustainability. Building on a successful pilot project within the EDIH AI5Production framework, the project is being implemented by the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in cooperation with several industry partners. 5267 Characters 2 Images
